<![CDATA[Background: Physical condition is a term that describes the degree of fitness and health of a person's body, which includes various components such as strength, agility, durability, speed, power, balance, flexibility, and reaction. One of the primary indicators for measuring aerobic endurance capacity is VO2Max. A high VO2Max level is essential in sports that require high intensity and prolonged gameplay, such as badminton and futsal. Bojonegoro district has significant athletic potential, but there are no established normative VO2Max standards that can be used as a reference in the systematic selection and development of athletes. Objectives: This study aims to develop normative VO2Max standards as a benchmark for athlete selection in two sports, namely badminton and futsal, in Bojonegoro Regency. VO2Max is a key indicator of aerobic capacity and cardiovascular system efficiency, which is very important in supporting athlete endurance and performance. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach using the Bleep Test instrument to measure VO2Max in 73 active athletes affiliated with sports clubs in Bojonegoro. Results: The study results showed that the average VO2Max for badminton athletes was 28.0 and for futsal athletes was 41.4, with standard deviations of 5.7 and 4.3, respectively. Based on category classification, most badminton athletes fell into the moderate category, while futsal athletes ranged from moderate to high categories. Conclusion: These differences reflect the physiological characteristics required in each sport, with futsal demanding higher aerobic endurance due to its higher intensity and longer match duration. This study produced VO2Max category norms for each sport, which can be used as a reference in the athlete selection process and in the development of targeted training programmes.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Low back pain (LBP) ranks among the most common musculoskeletal disorders that impact functional mobility and overall quality of life, especially in older adults who work at school teachers. Although body mass index (BMI) is frequently utilized as an indicator of health risk, it does not differentiate between fat and muscle mass, which may have varying implications for LBP risk. Objectives: The objective of this research was to examine the correlation between body composition (BMI, muscle mass, body fat & visceral fat percentage) and the likelihood of experiencing LBP in pre-elderly individuals. Methods: This study used a cross sectional analytic design and included 72 pre-elderly participants between 45-59 years old, who were selected through purposive sampling. Body composition metrics were obtained using a bioelectrical impedance analysis device, while LBP disability was evaluated by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire. The data were analyzed utilizing Spearman correlation due to the non-normal distribution of the variables with the aid of IBM SPSS Statistic 26.0 software. Results: The analysis indicated a moderate negative correlation between muscle mass and ODI scores (r2 = -0.488, p = 0.001), implying that higher muscle mass correlates with reduced LBP related disability. Visceral fat percentage exhibited a weak yet significant negative correlation with ODI (r2 = -0.293, p = 0.012), whereas BMI and body fat percentage did not show significant correlation with LBP. Conclusion: Muscle mass was identified as the most critical protective factor against LBP in pre-elderly adults, while BMI and total body fat did not serve as predictors of LBP risk. These results highlight the significance of muscle preservation in strategies aimed at preventing LBP and suggest that BMI alone is inadequate for evaluating musculoskeletal health risks in aging populations. Keywords: body composition, low back pain, teacher school.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Sports students, often also athletes and coaches, require optimal physical condition and fitness for peak performance and achievement. Maintaining fitness minimizes health risks and boosts exercise efficiency. VO2Max, the maximal oxygen uptake during intense exercise, is a key cardiovascular fitness indicator closely tied to muscle work capacity. Elevated Body Mass Index (BMI) and excess fat can impair cardiac function, reduce cardiac output, and hinder oxygen uptake, leading to lower VO2Max. This study focuses specifically on trained, active sports students, distinguishing it from prior research on general student populations. Objectives: To examine the relationship between BMI and VO2Max in sports students. Methods: This quantitative descriptive study used an observational analytic design. The study involved a total of 30 subjects active university students (19-22 years) were purposively sampled. BMI was measured with TANITA BC-545N, and VO2Max with the 12-minute Cooper test. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and Pearson correlation. Results: Mean BMI was 21.84 ± 2.52 kg/m². Most participants (70%) had normal BMI; 10% were underweight, 20% overweight. Mean VO2Max was 45.13 ± 4.93 mL/kg/min. Participants VO2Max, 53% were "good" and 23.5% "excellent".Normality test with Shapiro Wilk, p value BMI = 0.374 and p value VO2Max = 0.345 it mean (p> 0.05) then the data was normally distributed so that it was continued with parametric test is the Pearson Correlation test. A Pearson correlation showed a statistically significant negative relationship between BMI and VO2 Max (r = -0.372; p = 0.043), indicating a weak but inverse correlation. Conclusion: A significant negative relationship exists between BMI and VO2Max in sports students. Effective BMI management is crucial for preserving optimal cardiovascular fitness in this group. Keywords: BMI, VO2Max, Sport Student.]]>
